"Our SuperStacker is not just high-per-
forming and easy to use, but durable
as well," Heirigs said. "By choosing the
SuperStacker, our customers save sig-
nificant amounts of time, which in turn
saves them money and increases their
profitability."
The SuperStacker is available in 10 dif-
ferent sizes for a range of production
capacities and is available in a contain-
erized option.

Martin Engineering
As bulk-handling equipment suppliers
continue to make use of new and evolv-
ing technologies to develop "smarter"
conveyor systems, Martin Engineer-
ing has introduced data tracking with
QR codes on its belt cleaners.
Customers benefit from regularly sched-
uled inspections by factory-trained and
MSHA-certified technicians, providing
operators with easy access to a wealth
of data on the application, operating
environment, service life and condition
of conveyor components, updated on
every belt cleaner maintenance visit.
By avoiding the common "run it until it
breaks" approach, a Martin Engineer-
ing proprietary smartphone app helps
maximize performance and service life –
while minimizing carryback and spillage
– to improve safety and reduce unsched-
uled downtime.
Currently being implemented in select
markets around the world, the new
tracking program captures a wide array
of information to create a detailed
record on all components. Date codes
are imprinted on the blades during man -
ufacture – very important for urethane
because it has a limited shelf life – and
technicians also affix tags on existing
equipment to begin monitoring condi-
tion and recording observations.
Conceived as part of Martin Engineer-
ing's factory-direct "Mr. Blade" program,
technicians perform regularly-sched-
uled inspections and adjustments, with
an 18-point operational assessment
from head pulley to tail pulley and a
report for each visit. The visual inspec-
tions include the condition of pulleys,
belts and idlers, as well as belt tracking,
sealing, support and containment. This
constant vigilance contributes to greater
safety, efficiency and dependability of
the conveyor systems, minimizing haz-
ards and unplanned outages.
With the new tagging and capture abil-
ity, component data can be recorded and
analyzed in much greater detail than
ever before. Every inspection a techni-
cian makes will be logged, along with
operational factors such as the mate-
rial being handled, conveyor speed and
remaining wear life, as well as visual
observations and other info. The overall
goal is to deliver more effective control
of bulk material, improving predictive
maintenance scheduling and contribut-
ing to a lower total cost of ownership.

McCloskey International
The TS4080 stacker from McCloskey
International is the newest addition to
the materials handling division. It was
shown at this year's Steinexpo show in
Germany.
Designed to allow operators to stock-
pile/transfer material directly from
mobile crushing and screening plants it
offers the flexibility and mobility needed
to ensure that the stockpiling process is
as fast and efficient as possible, while
eliminating the use of a loader and
double handling of materials.
The TS4080 can be containerized for
transport, with minimal setup time,
substantially reducing transport costs,
according to the company.
McCloskey stackers are designed for
